How your presence affects me
I lay bare, revealed and unprepared
As I stand here before you
An undressed soul, naked and scared
Scared of my own feelings
puzzled emotions swirling inside
Released from the fathomless bottom
I am conquered and can not hide
I am standing at this fatal edge
where love has died and will arise
Hypnotized by the depth in the abyss
As the mesmeric darkness in your eyes
I fall for all I have lost and forsaken
Falling so enchanted and free
No more limits, no more bounds
I offer to you the entire me
I may hit the absolute rock-bottom
My life is over as I surrender and fall
But ending with your arms around me
is the most beautiful death of them all
I am seduced by this lethal attraction
Playing venturous games with my mind
I can shut my eyes to your beauty
but my soul is too aware to be blind
It is too late, there is no turning back
I am throwing myself off the shelf
I am doomed and cursed forever
I am in love with the devil himself.
Painting: Love by Gustav Klimt 1895
